BUILDING GAINS, SURVEYSHOWS November Increase Nearly One-Fourth Above Month in 1932. 'Copyright. 1933. by United Press) NEW YORK. Dec. 7.—Building operations are on a definite upturn and the outlook for 1934 is for a rise above 1933 and 1932, L. Seth Schnitman, chief statistician of F. W. Dodge Corporation, told the United Press today. The most significant development, Mr. Schnitman said, was a sharp upturn in residential building. Contracts in the thirty-seven states east of the Rocky mountains totaled $23,615,700 in November, a gain of 23 per cent over $19,245,300 in November, 1932, and a good gain over the $21,525,700 reported for October this year. “With the public works administration operating actively, good comparisons for the next several months are assured,” he said. “It appears probable,” Mr. Schnitman said, “that the contract record for the full year of 1933 will mark the bottom of the long descent in the construction industry which first set in in 1928.” FIX THATCHER SERVICES Body of Former College Head Will Be Cremated.

WHISKY COST ‘CRIME’ CONGRESSMAN SAYS $7 a Quart ‘Outrageous/ Asserts Cochran. By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Representative John J. Cochran iDem., Mo.), announces that the charging of $7 a quart for whisky, no matter how old, is outrageous. So long as legal liquor continues at present prices, he urges the public to refrain from buying it. “Such prices will only perpetuate bootleggers,” he said. “We do not want federal dispensaries, but something of that kind will result if the present-day prices are continued. “Chemists of the bureau of industrial alcohol advise me that the best whisky available today did not cost more than 50 cents a gallon to make.”

Uruguay, Dec. 7. —Seemingly victorious :n sidetracking injection of debts into the PanAmerican conference, the American delegation faced anew fight today to keep out League of Nations influence. A conference sub-c omm ill e e shunted to the Inter-American high commission at Washington the proposal of Mexican Finance Minister Jose Manuel Puig Casauranc for a ten-year debt moratorium. With this out of the way. several Latin American delegates were considering an invitation to the League to send an observer to the conference. Though a League observer might be invited logically because it. as well as Latin-American nations, is trying to end the war between Bolivia and Paraguay in the Gran
